# Compiling ## 1. CMake ### 1.1. Example In libdumb project root, run: ``` mkdir -p build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON .. make make install ``` ### 1.2. Steps 1. Create a new temporary build directory and cd into it 2. Run libdumb cmake file with cmake (eg. `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/dir -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release path/to/dumb/cmake/dir`). 3. Run make (eg. just `make` or `mingw32-make` or something). 4. If needed, run make install. ### 1.3. Flags * CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX sets the installation path prefix * CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE sets the build type (eg. Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel). Debug libraries will be named libdumbd, release libraries libdumb. * BUILD_SHARED_LIBS selects whether cmake should build dynamic or static library. On by default. (On=shared, OFF=static) * BUILD_EXAMPLES selects example binaries. Note that example binaries require argtable2 and SDL2 libraries. On by default. * You may also need to tell cmake what kind of makefiles to create with the "-G" flag. Eg. for MSYS one would say something like `cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" .`. ## 2. Visual Studio TODO
